Used a Cobra Ultralite @40' with either my FT-817 or my IC-746 at 5W. K9OSC - Made these contacts with my K1 on 40 and 30 meters using a CF Zepp @ 30 feet. Great fun. W2JEK - was lots of fun. used 18 calls. most from mn qp and fybo plus a few others over the feb. 6/7 weekend. still needed letter s which i got working charlie w2sh in the sprint. looking forward to the next challenge. 72 and 73 don younger w2jek #1135 K1IEE - Had a fun time. Thanks John for the tutorial that helped allot. Used the HW-9 with 4 watts and the HW-8 with 1 watt for the contacts on 40 and 80. N8XMS - I always enjoy our alphabet challenges. I used 19 different callsigns. My most useful callsign was the exotic (for me anyway!) 5E50SA special event station in Morocco, which I maxed out by using 6 different times. K3WWP - I had the challenge finished except for one T, then decided I'd do another one with just DX calls from the ARRL DX Test. That's the one I'm posting. Actually doing it in a contest is really not much of a challenge, but.... The other one was more challenging. Anyway both were fun, and if you're reading this, and have never done one of our alphabet challenges, you're really depriving yourself of a lot of fun. If you like crossword puzzles, word searches, and other similar puzzles, you'll enjoy an alphabet challenge and you'll also be helping to put more CW signals on the air! KH6OZ - Used my FT897D at 5w into a heathkit antenna tuner and a 40M windom apex at abt 32ft. All solar powered with 1--130w panel and 4 6v batteries. Thanks, 73's George KH6OZ KQ1P - This was a fun challenge and I had all the needed letters except 'I' and 'T' early in the month. I made an effort to work more DX stations in this challenge, but I still needed the DX contest to help me finish. WA7HDI - Brand new Yaesu FT-817nd radio dipole for 20 meters and vertical for 40 meters took three days to get the last "R" didn't think I would make it as I did not work the contest. Joe WY3H - This challenge was relatively easy. I'm glad I completed it. Although it was a lot of fun and I think February groundhogs are an amusing and interesting tradition. After all the snow we got this winter and after all the snow we got in February I still harbor a deep-seated hatred for Punxsutawney Phil and his awful forecast. PREMISE: This is the month the little furry creatures we call groundhogs boldy come forth and make their prognostications for the final six weeks of winter. This challenge was first suggested by Don VE3HUR. This is its second running. TIME FRAME: The first day of the month 0000Z through the last day of the month 2400Z RULES: There are many groundhog prognosticators around the world. For this alphabet challenge we want you to make the names of just three of them using letters in the calls of stations you work: PUNXSUTAWNEY PHIL WIARTON WILLIE SIR WALTER WALLY This is a reduction from 2008's six names because some members complained our challenges are too hard for them. For reference, the following 15 letters are contained somewhere in the words: A E H I L N O P R S T U W X Y You can use a letter in a call TWICE. For example, N3AQC's A could be used in WIARTON AND WALTER. If a call has two or more of the same letters, only one may be used. For example, only one of the three E's in K3EEE could be used for two E's in the words (for example PUNXSUTAWNEY and WILLIE). You can't use the two extra E's for anything. Subsequent QSO's with the same station cannot be used for additional letters. For example, no matter how many times you work K3WWP, you can only use the P from his call for two letters in the words. See the Alphabet Tutorial page for an excellent way to track any and all of our alphabet type challenges. AWARDS: A certificate goes to anyone making all three names. PARTICIPATION AWARD AND WEB LISTING: To get a Participation Point and to be listed in the results you must make at least one of the three names. LOGS: Include a list of the names and the calls used to make the names as in this example: JOHN - KB5JO KB5JO W2SH N4FI SHANNON - W2SH W2SH WA8REI N4FI N2COD N2COD N2COD You may also include comments about the challenge. Please preface any comments you want posted with "SOAPBOX:" so we will know what you want posted and what is private. Send your results to: E-mail: You must type that address into your email program. Subject must read: (your call) NAQCC (month) Challenge For example: K3WWP NAQCC February Challenge Postal mail: John Shannon, K3WWP 478 E. High St. Kittanning, PA 16201 All entries must be RECEIVED before the 10th of the following month at 2400Z. |
